Billy was my project van, he is a 2010, 2.5 CDTI small wheel base Vauxhall Vivaro. He is minimally converted at the moment but I had full intentions of converting him into a full blown camper with all the trimmings. Unfortunately Billy is now unfixable so the adventure starts again with a new van coming soon..
Feel free to message me on any of my socials, thank you for following along on this amazing Journey.

Love the floor JD, think you should keep it like that, if the woods OK then why not reuse it, saves money... Hopefully we will be seeing you soon 😊 😉 Keep safe and safer travels .. ☮️😊☯️
There is something very satisfying watching someone else work instead of me lol
Looks great but I could run some battons in the centre
keep up the good work one bit at a time !
🤩
Enjoying your vlogs youve got a great attitude 👍🏻 i done mine payday to payday .. all worth it in the end 👍🏻👍🏻
Most thorough job going to be a nice camper
Yep looking good
I like the way you laugh at things that can be really irritating, puts a different perspective on things. Keep it up
Taking shape dude
Great to have you back 👍🏻
That bed is going to take up so much room jd,I have the same van but it has a single bed that extends into a double if needed using a simple wooden frame like yours,also the slats would be much stronger if they rested on top of the frame Or is it a temporary bed
It’s temp bro
@@jdvanlife OK no worries
Looking good JD, nice to see the floor is in great shape! Not long ago my wife came to the hardware store with me to buy some brackets I didn't have. When she saw how much hardware costs she said, "I understand why you save so much of this crap"
Great start👍
Hey JD, vans coming along nicely. Much better when you can stand up and work in it huh!😊.. Looking forward to the next phase. Don't worry about being a little out of sorts happens to us all.. Take care and stay safe..☮️😊☯️
7:22 Hi everyone, should of been a voiceover at this point, sorry folks!😬😂 thanks for watching!
It begins again!
Great start and building a bed to start adventures now👍
looking god JD it will all be worth it at the end buddy keep up the great work and vids
excited to watch along
Being able to stand in your van is such a game changer, look forward to watching the conversion, you need to get a sticker on the back saying i identify as a Vauxhall vivaro 😂, stay safe out there 😊☮️☯️
Awesome JD!! Build and film away brother!! I love watching DIY builds, always learn something. If you want to bounce any build ideas off me send me an email!! Manifest destiny!! Dig it!! 👍🤙✌
big improvement love it
Looks an awesome van
The journey continues. Lots to look forward to. Kate x
Great van perfect for adventures. Excited to see the transformation know you will do a great job ❤
I am selling a small tinted window if you are intrested bought it for £80 selling it £40 comes with the trim and 2 tubs of bonding still in the box 880mm x 340mm near peak district, I was going to put it on the side door got a full window put in instead.
where the bulk head screws are under the overhead storage bit you can put a blackout curtian on seperating the cab, with them make a little wholes in the top of the curtian screw it in can roll it up put it in the over head storage bit for the sides use pegs onto the seat belt plastics
insulation polystirene sheets plastic wool in the gaps bubble foil over the top
loads of room I have the same van with my build I built my bed waist high put 4 plastic 4 draw tubs under the bed diesel heater in the middle fishing chair on the other side with a table at the back to cook on
Well done bro, wish you all the best, dont rush into the build get a feel for it first then you'll be flying !!!
So pleased for you JD, you can finally build a home you can stand and move about it 🎉
great van jd i would put your bed across the back so undneath you can i space for tools water gas ect
The bed across the length is only 165cm max🙃
You are buzzing, happy for you brother 👍
Wow. It's beautiful. Excited for you. 🎉
It’s not a Vauxhall Vivaro guys 😂😂
Good to see you back we are still on board 😊 looking forward to future episodes 👍
Congrats on the new job!

Thanks Ian! I’ve missed you guys to! Can’t wait to share my life on the road again soon! All the best, JD.

They are great vans/campers! Are the pop tops good?😊 yeah.. standing is something I would like now😂😂😂 thanks for the support, all the best, JD.
Excited for your new van x
